ARCHITECTVRAL TERRA COTTA a * ‘STANDARD CONT’TRVCTIONT
Foreword
T HE use of burned clay ware in the form of brick, tile or pottery has been unin-
terrupted and universal from the dawn of civilization to the present day. The
use of burned clay in the form of Architectural Terra Cotta has been more
sporadic and local. Its unequalled merits as a building material were fully appre-
ciated by the Greeks and Tuscans who, two thousand years ago, used it to face the
perishable stone in some of their Temples. Centuries passed, during which the
art of making Architectural Terra Cotta seems to have been confined to short
periods and to a few localities. In modern times the creator of the skyscraper —
the progressive American Architect — working with the responsive and enterprising
Manufacturer, re-discovered, improved and gave to an appreciative Public this most
durable and versatile of all building materials.
Today it is a matter of common knowledge among Architects that modern
Terra Cotta possesses many superior qualities; that it may be economically made
in an endless variety of forms and colors; that, if well made, properly set and care-
fully pointed, it is permanently enduring and resists successfully the ravages of
water and fire; that it combines lightness with strength and beauty with usefulness.
The purpose of this book, prepared through the co-operation of nearly all the
manufacturers of Architectural Terra Cotta in the United States, is to facilitate the
use of this material; to save time, trouble and expense to all concerned by dissemi-
nating accurate and dependable information on proper methods of jointing and
construction. Nearly all of these methods have been in practical use for some years.
This work is in no sense intended to be a book of artistic aspirations. It does
not presume to even suggest architectural design; it merely contains generally
accepted architectural forms of assumed dimensions and their proper interpretation
in Architectural Terra Cotta. For a number of the problems several good solutions
are possible and the preference is sometimes governed by very slight modifications
of profiles and dimensions. But attention is called particularly to the fact that con-
siderable variations in sizes of similar sections may necessitate changes in both
jointing and construction. Hence, none of the plates may exactly apply if the
scale is reduced or increased.
The characteristics peculiar to Architectural Terra Cotta and the extreme diffi-
culties encountered in the vagaries of clay before it is finally conquered and forever
fixed by fire, can hardly be understood by those who have not been engaged in its
manufacture. Therefore, harmonious co-operation between designers and manu-
facturers is imperative in order to produce the best results. Unfavorable shapes or
dimensions, or arbitrary arrangement of engaging or supporting materials, may not
only increase the cost of production and of erection, but may also produce unsatis-
factory results, both aesthetically and constructively. But where the important
rules of jointing and construction are observed, well made Architectural Terra
Cotta is the ideal building material of the Twentieth Century.
This book is respectfully dedicated to our best friends — the Architects and
the Architectural Engineers and their Assistants — with the sincere hope that they
will endorse its value and express their appreciation of our efforts by receiving,
treating and consulting it as a trustworthy friend of the office.

A brief synopsis of the manufacture of Architectural Terra Cotta in the
sequence of the various operations
The Architect’s complete scale drawings are furnished the Manufacturer, who, following the design,
makes minting construction drawings and full size details to the proper shrinkage dimensions.
These drawings are submitted to the Architect for approval before proceeding with the work.
From the Architect’s drawings or sketches, in the style or period indicated, the ornamental clay
models are made; this while the clay is in its most plastic and receptive state. Photographs ot
the ornamental models are submitted to Architect for approval or he may personally examine
models at the factory— the soft clay permits any corrections or improvements which may
subsequently be desired.
Models are made of plaster of paris to shrinkage scale and to the dimensions required by the
jointing drawings. Over these models sectional moulds of plaster of pans are cast, from which
later the required number of Terra Cotta pieces are produced.
The various clays and fusible minerals used in forming the Terra Cotta body are most care-
fully selected for their plasticity and binding qualities and must be of a nature which, when
fired at high temperature, will form a homogeneous body amply strong to carry the required
structural loads, and to resist the action of those elements which attack all exposed surfaces.
The foregoing processes are entirely preparatory to actual production, the first step of which
is Pressing. This is entirely a hand operation and consists of pressing the plastic clay into the
mould usually in a layer having a uniform thickness of about 1J4 inch; following the contour
of the mould, strengthening ribs of clay being inserted at intervals of approximately 6 inches.
The mould is removed and the piece of Terra Cotta skillfully retouched and placed in specially
constructed driers where the surplus moisture is evaporated.
After the drying process, the Terra Cotta passes into the slipping or spraying department
where, by means of compressed air apparatus, the exposed surfaces are coated with the ceramic
liquid mixture which, during the firing process following, develops into the desired color or g aze.
These colors or glazes are prepared with scrupulous care, according to exact ceramic formulae.
The variety of shades and textures which may be obtained opens up an unlimited held ot per-
manent color design in architecture which lias, as yet, been scarcely enterec .
After the color process, the Terra Cotta is placed in large kilns where it is subjected to a
temperature rising gradually to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit or more depending upon the point ot
maturity of the clay body or glaze; after this temperature is reached the kiln is slowly cooled to
normal. The time required to charge, fire and discharge a kiln is about two weeks.
After firing, the Terra Cotta is removed to the fitting department, where it is laid out and marked
according to the numbers on the jointing drawings and the place it is to occupy in the building.
Where required, the joints are squared and cut to accurate alignment, either by hand or ground
to size by the rubbing-bed process. Careful fitting is essential to insure satisfactory results in
the erected Terra Cotta.
For rail transportation. Terra Cotta is usually shipped in bulk, securely packed in hay and
braced to prevent shifting; when properly packed, damage in transit is negligib e.
For export by vessel it is usually necessary to pack in crates or hogsheads, according to
thC Upmi^rriva^arthe 6 building site the hay should be removed and the Terra Cotta placed in
the order marked, in piles on wooden strips.
The appearance of Architectural Terra Cotta is greatly affected by inaccurate setting and poor
pointing. As the individual pieces of Terra Cotta are fitted and numbered to correspond with
the erection drawings, these numbers MUST BE FOLLOW ED.
The Terra Cotta manufacturer will contract to submit jointing drawings for approval within a
fixed time after receipt of Architect’s drawings and the required information. All shipping da es
are computed from the receipt by the manufacturer of these approved drawings. The process
of manufacture takes from five to ten weeks, depending upon the size and nature of the order.
A standard form of contract especially covering the manufacture of Architectural Terra Cotta
has been adopted by the NATIONAL TERRA COTTA SOCIETY, and is recommended for
general use.
Architectural Terra Cotta factories are conveniently located in the Eistern Central and
the United States (see list in back). Every Architect or Designer interested should visit one of these plants.
He will always find a hearty welcome.
